Rumput plays kroncong (a string-band tradition from Indonesia) and explores parallel threads with other traditions, notably old-time string-band music of the United States and British Isles, and Indonesian gamelan. Rumput is an 8 person ensemble (voice, strings, wind, percussion), currently directed by Javanese master musician Danis Sugiyanto. Their performances include shadow theater and large scrolling artwork (crankies) by Beth Reid.
